Consider the alternative... “Sport has the power to unite people in a way little else can. Sport can create hope where there was once only despair. It breaks down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of discrimination. Sport speaks to people in a language they can understand… [It is] probably the most effective means of communication in the modern world.” — Nelson Mandela Attention football fans! Although the season ended a couple months ago and we’re well...

1. Présente-toi en quelques phrases. Comment es-tu arrivée à Séville ? Emilie à Séville Je m’appelle Emilie et je suis arrivée en Espagne en avril 2009. Après avoir travaillé quelques mois en Angleterre, je suis arrivée à Séville grâce à une amie qui m’a mise en contact avec Amy, directrice de l’école, qui est actuellement en congé. Ayant fait des études de langues, j’essaie de profiter un maximum de mes expériences à l’étranger. C’est une expérience...
Onze schoolmanager Marja 1. Kun je iets over jezelf vertellen, waarom woon je in Spanje? Het begon allemaal met een spaanse cursus! In augustus 2003 ben ik naar Tarifa (zuidelijkste puntje van Spanje)gegaan om daar een cursus Spaans te gaan doen. Ik sprak al aardig wat spaans omdat ik hiervoor werkte als reisgids in Centraal-Amerika. Na mijn spaanse cursus was ik van plan om van Tarifa langzaam omhoog te reizen om dan uiteindelijk terug te vliegen vanuit Barcelona. Zover ben ik nooit...
Our Birmingham Flower If you want to know more about learning Spanish in Madrid, read this interview with Zoë Thurston, our school manager and local expert Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Baila guapa, baila In a city known so well for its flamenco culture, sometimes it’s nice to get away from some of the more pricey shows and lose yourself in a hole-in-the-wall bar like La Carbonería. This is one of my favourite places to go for live flamenco, especially during those sticky summer nights in Sevilla! And I’ve been going there since a local friend of mine introduced me to this charming place over a year ago! I first fell in love with La Carbonería last summer. It tends...
During the summer months in Sevilla, I decided to take a hint from the locals and escape the heat by going for a day trip to Matalascañas. Matalascañas is a beach located about 1.5 hours from Sevilla – in Huelva – and a roundtrip (ida y vuelta) from Sevilla is only about 12,00 €! Vamos a la playa, oh oho oho I’ve been several times now, and I remember my first time running smoothly. We’d arrived early to buy our tickets and enjoyed a relaxing breakfast of tostadas and café con...
A little bit of French on our Spanish course website. C'est la folie, we know. For the third time in history, Barcelona will welcome the crazy Tour de France circus. The caravan will arrive on Thursday 9th of July around 15:00 and the cyclists (heroes or performance enhancing drug addicts?) are expected round 17:00. The caravan will pass very close to our Spanish school in Barcelona so we may all quickly pop out to have a look. Barcelona always tries to do something special and this time,...
